A certain indication that the demo
Gratis made no mistakes in nominating
a county ticket is found IN the fact
that the republicans are abusing the
nominees. On the street, at any hour,
may be heard some lOud-talking repub-
lcan dealing out what he imaglnes to
be terrific blows against the democrats.
Judge Stevens is abused because he
does not run around at night, get full,
and promise his everlasting friendship
to law-breakers and their friends. J..
p. Hall does not suit them because he
has had republican employed in his
Office during part of his term, though
that republican is acknowledged to be
honest and one of the few republicans
in this county who are competent to
fill an Office. Am. Allen does not suit
them because he has never held an
Office, and because he has had to work
for living. Mr.. Aber is a Sunday
school man, and, therefore, they think
he is not it for county surveyor. OF
course, valid objection cannot be rails
ed to a man on the democratic ticket,
but the republicans are already scared,
and are even now wondering who they
can nominate who will stand ghost Of
a show Of election.

The Philadelphia Press says that the
